Promises are
Glittering stars of hope
Glimmering in the night sky
Shining and promising
Words for our future
Promises are
Plans and schemes
Made in the late nights
Laughing with pure happiness
Abandoning our pasts
Promises are
New York and
Broadway and
Apartments and
Dogs
Promises are
Support systems for years
Crying on the phone
Similar lives
Similar pain
Promises are
Fear of separation
The inevitable
What is yet to come
Worry
Promises are
You and me
Me and you
Friendship
Indefinitely
